Specifications
Temperature & Pressure Relief Valves Each hot water storage heater shall be equipped with an automatic temperature and pressure relief valve to protect the heater from excessive pressure and excessive temperature. The device shall be certified as meeting the requirements of ASME low pressure heating boiler code and ANSI Z21.22. The BTU discharge capacity of the device shall be in excess of the BTU input rating of the heater. The device shall be constructed using Lead Free* materials. Lead Free* automatic re-seating T&P relief valves shall comply with state codes and standards, where applicable, requiring reduced lead content. The T&P valve shall be a Watts Series LF40, LF140, LFN240 or LF340.
Features
Lead Free cast body Non-mechanical seat-to-disc alignment Tamper-resistant bonnet screws Series 34" LF40 and LF140 feature a unique thermostat with a special thermo-bonded coating Series 1" LF140 are furnished with stainless steel thermostat tube Series LFN240 and LF340 are hot furnished with stainless steel thermostat tube
Following installation, the valve lever MUST be operated AT LEAST ONCE A YEAR by the water heater owner to ensure that the waterways are clear. Certain naturally occurring mineral deposits may adhere to the valve, blocking waterways, rendering it inoperative. When the lever is operated, Hot water will discharge if the waterways are clear. Precautions must be taken to avoid personal injury from contact with hot water and to avoid property damage.
IMPORTANT: INQUIRE WITH GOVERNING AUTHORITIES FOR LOCAL INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
* The wetted surface of this product contacted by consumable water contains less than 0.25% of lead by weight.

General Recommendations
For Heaters with Direct Top Tapping
Use standard or extra length extension thermostat. For gas, electric or oil-fired storage water heaters between 180,000 to 205,000 BTU/Hr. rating: Use 34" (20mm) Series LF40, LF140 tested under ANSI Z21.22 with ratings as certified and listed by CSA. For gas or oil-fired storage water heaters between 205,000 and 730,000 BTU/Hr. rating and for compliance with applicable water heater labeling requirements: Use 1" (25mm) LF40, LF140, LFN240 Series tested under ANSI Z21.22 with ratings as certified and listed by CSA. For installations of gas or oil-fired hot water supply boilers over 730,000 BTU/Hr. output heating domestic water and for steam coil storage water heaters: Use Series LF340, LF342 tested under ANSI Z21.22 with rating as certified and listed by CSA.

M = Male F = Female **ASME capacities are steam pressure ratings and do not reflect the CSA temperature relieving capacity of the valves for selection purposes. LFLL40XL and LFLLL40XL valves with extended inlet shanks should be used for water heaters that have extra thick insulation, Ask for ES-LFLL/LLL40XL.
Temperature and Pressure Relief Valves should be inspected AT LEAST ONCE EVERY TWO TO FOUR YEARS, and replaced, if necessary, by a licensed plumbing contractor or qualified service technician, to ensure that the product has not been affected by corrosive water conditions and to ensure that the valve and discharge line have not been altered or tampered with illegally. Certain naturally occurring conditions may corrode the valve or its components over time, rendering the valve inoperative. Such conditions can only be detected if the valve and its components are physically removed and inspected. Do not attempt to conduct an inspection on your own. Contact your plumbing contractor for a reinspection to ensure continuing safety.
